Elina Svitolina vs Mona Barthel, Indian Wells R2 Prediction

Svitolina is in red-hot form right now, I can’t see her having too many problems against Barthel. Svitolina is such a complete player at the moment thanks to her vastly improved serve and general court positioning with a new willingness to be far more aggressive from the baseline. Barthel is a very streaky player and often plays with a fluctuating level during matches, not the type of game that will get the job done against Svitolina. The Ukrainian is too strong in all departments right now and should win this pretty comfortably.
